Ingredients
For the Macaroons

For the Chocolate Coating
- Dark chocolate chips – 1 cup
- Coconut oil – 1 tbsp (optional)

- In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Do not overbeat.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture with a spatula. Fold just until no white streaks remain. Overmixing will make macaroons dense.

- Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined sheet. Tip: For a clean dip, chill macaroons for 10 minutes first.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is fully set, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Main

Instructions
